Sony Nashville, Cracker Barrel Help Feed Frontline Workers
Sony Music Nashville and Cracker Barrel Old Country Store have together donated more than 15,000 meals to medical staff on the frontlines of COVID-19 through the brand’s ‘There’s Comfort in Giving’ program. Over the past three weeks, for every Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® $10 e-gift card purchased via crackerbarrel.com, Cracker Barrel donated a meal to healthcare professionals as a “thank you” for their tireless efforts in the face of the pandemic. Sony artists Chris Young, Matt Stell, Mitchell Tenpenny, and more hosted live performances on their socials to offer comfort and promote participation in the meal donation campaign.
Collin Raye Returns To The Road With Free Show
Collin Raye is headlining a free live concert, headed up by the Utah Business Revival, in Kaysville, Utah at Barnes Park on May 30. The event marks Raye’s first public performance since COVID-19 ushered in national “safer-at-home” orders, and is one the first live concerts being held in the U.S. since the pandemic halted touring earlier this year. The outdoor event will also feature booths for local nonessential businesses to give company owners an opportunity to interact with the public to sell their goods and services.”Hopefully, this concert will inspire similar events in other states around the country as we try to unify and start pushing back against the effects of this pandemic,” said Raye. “We will be utilizing the recommended sensible safety precautions, and I’m confident it will be a huge success for small businesses, and hopefully, the country at large.”
